Swallowing the Stars: The Puzzle of Everything!

Chapter 90 Black Stone Prison

What came into view was a group of...humans?

It can only be described as very human-like.

With a similar appearance, but with black hair and black eyes, it has a pair of sharp horns, wide bat wings that flap constantly, and a tail that swings like an arrow.

They held specially made weapons, seemingly made of rock, according to the aura Perseus sensed.

It's the domain lord!

Those bat wings didn't seem like they were just for show.

He sensed it as soon as he entered; the gravity here was so strong that even a Domain Lord couldn't take off. This also meant that, apart from some races that were born with the ability to fly, no one above the Domain Lord could see the vortex above.

Why don't these guys go out?

Perseus flapped his wings, circled around, and after confirming that there were no other intelligent life forms within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, he immediately charged toward those figures.

A powerful soul attack erupted in an instant.

In less than half a breath, the figures below simultaneously fainted and collapsed to the ground, each receiving a Soul-Binding Wooden Seal from him.

Then, a snap of fingers was heard.

"Well……"

Several figures awoke one after another, and following the faint connection, looked up at Perseus, who had returned to human form.

Unfortunately, we couldn't communicate due to the language barrier.

To avoid communication breakdowns, Perseus retrieved the intelligent device and taught them the universal language.

Clearly, the domain owner has a good learning ability.

In just half a day, these "demons" learned this foreign language they had never encountered before, and could communicate simply and express their meaning clearly.

"So, where is this place?"

Perseus looked at the young man in the lead, his eyes questioning.

"This is the land forsaken by the gods—Blackrock Prison."

"We are the Ghost Stone Clan, abandoned in the Black Stone Prison. We live in separate tribes, and each tribe has at least one Qiankun-level expert who can fly. The strongest tribe even has a demigod."

"A Qiankun-level... Realm Lord?"

"Demigod sounds more like immortality."

Perseus narrowed his eyes and pointed to the distant sky. "Since there are Realm Lords and Immortals there, why don't you leave from there?"

"Master, we can't get out."

The young man suddenly reached out and took off his outer robe, revealing his chest covered with various black patterns.

"This is a trial ground specially confined by the royal family. Although the royal family has not come for a long time, we sinners are still unable to escape this prison. The root cause is this shackle passed down through generations."

"If we really get caught in the vortex..."

"The closer you get to that place, the more painful it will be, until your body breaks apart due to internal punishment."

Perseus probably had a guess.

From the previous Xuanhuang Secret Realm to the Black Stone Prison here, combined with the royal family's description, it is possible that a powerful race once existed in this area on the border of human territory.

However, battles between tribes have always been brutal.

The Dark Stone royal family that built the Black Stone Prison has been completely wiped out. The remaining branch escaped the purge due to the relatively special environment of the secret realm, but is now forever confined here.

Whether this act of drinking and eating resulted in a loss or a gain is unknown.

"Do you cultivate the laws of earth?"

As if he had thought of something, Perseus looked at the young man.

"We cultivate the laws of earth."

Not only the young man, but the other five also nodded.

"My Youshi clan is the darling of the Earth Law. In addition to demigods, there are also primordial gods whose physical bodies are indestructible. However, even primordial gods cannot break the seal of the secret realm."

The initial stage of the immortal Dharma body... conferred a title of nobility? ??

Looking in the direction the young man was pointing, a hint of apprehension appeared in Perseus's eyes.

Being granted a title of nobility is no easy feat.

The secret realm only imposed some restrictions at the entrance, but never mentioned that it would limit the strength of those who had been granted the title of Marquis. The reason why those Marquis-level experts were unable to leave might also be related to the unique energy composition of this place.

The laws of earth are more obvious, but the laws of space are deeply hidden.

This environment is only suitable for comprehending the laws of earth.

Even those who are granted titles cannot integrate their consciousness into the origin land like realm lords. If their talent is even slightly lacking, it is not surprising that they would be unable to break free for countless years.

However, he cannot ignore this group of powerful individuals at the moment.

Immortality is too authoritative!

A higher genetic level naturally leads to better talent in the laws of nature. However, better talent can affect the difficulty of breaking through. If the goal is simply to become an ordinary immortal, then breaking through will be much easier.

If we can win over this group of military leaders and enfeoff them as marquises, the help they will bring will be far greater than we imagine.

"Give me some blood."

Upon hearing this, the young man immediately took action, raising the stone knife and quickly slashing his wrist.

A trickle of blood flowed out.

The gray blood, stained with black spots, vanished in an instant, reappearing as a gray blood clot and wisps of black energy.

They were actually separated?

The young man's eyes widened in surprise, as did the others behind him.

Perseus frowned and asked him again.

"Does this restriction affect your soul?"

"no."

"The Poison of Rockfall is a bloodline toxin; it only affects flesh and blood..."

"So, aren't you all stupid?!"

Perseus looked at the group with a speechless expression. He seemed to be talking about them, but in reality, he was cursing all the powerful members of the Netherstone Clan.

"Leaving directly won't work, can't you find a roundabout way?"

"It's not difficult to cultivate the other life forms within the secret realm. With proper guidance, new intelligent life forms will eventually emerge. Then we can enslave them. Going out to explore is at least a hope of escaping this predicament. If you do nothing, you'll probably be trapped in this Black Stone Prison until the day the universe is destroyed."

They're all idiots!

However, this heavy rock poison has the characteristic of circulating through the blood vessels, and can even spread within an immortal body...

Perseus's eyes darkened. "Good material—"

The next step in developing the Soul-Binding Wood Seal is to dismantle the Rock-Heavy Poison and integrate it into the Soul-Binding Wood Seal, but this is a modification at the Immortal level, and he cannot do that step yet.

At this stage, it would be good enough if we could take the Realm Lord out with us.

Perseus had a variety of thoughts running through his mind, but they all turned into a sense of curiosity. He wanted to know why this toxin would repel the exit.

"Owner……"

The young man spoke again, his tone filled with anticipation.

"You can isolate the toxins, so can you lead us out of this area?"

There is no shortage of energy inside Blackrock Prison.

However, as time went by, various unknowns were gradually eliminated. Being trapped for a long time even caused mental problems for the immortals. If it weren't for their strong will, they might have gone mad.

Under the subtle influence of those above, many members of the You Shi tribe also wanted to leave this secret realm.

It could be said that leaving had a different meaning for them.

However, Perseus has no intention of taking them with him now.

"I can indeed take you away, but not now."

"Your tribe must have quite a few treasures, or rather, what conditions would be required for an outsider to join your tribe?"

"You can join directly."

The young man spoke with an air of self-righteousness, "Because of the restrictions imposed by the Three Gods, each tribe has a birth rate requirement. Since the number of tribe members is small, cultivation resources for each person are naturally abundant… In recent years, our tribe has developed medicine and has researched many extremely effective medicine formulas!"
